Περιγραφή
This book is a comprehensive reference to home dialysis. There is a great need for this resource, which spans the spectrum of learners from the medical student to the well-practiced attending physician. Recent texts that have been authored on the topic have focused on peritoneal dialysis, but often home hemodialysis is limited to a single chapter in a work on dialysis. This book addresses this gap and provides instruction on the rapidly expanding field of home hemodialysis for all levels of nephrologists.
The topics covered in this book include a survey of currently available technology, management of various complicating conditions, home hemodialysis program development, and patient training and home preparation. All chapters follow a consistent, easy-to-follow structure, which features a case presentation, didactics, and a visual abstract. Written by experts in the field, this book is both a didactic and bedside reference for the practicing nephrologist.
